sinus-Obliquus

The first oblique venous stent!

At least 50% of left-sided pelvic vein thrombosis cases are caused by obstructions due to May-Thurner Syndrome. In this anatomical anomaly the right common iliac artery overlies and com-presses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar spine and at the same time exerts a pulsation force on the vein. Resulting turbulences facilitate the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Present therapies with conventional venous stents are satisfactory.

However, when placed near the bifurcation, the distal end of the stent can protrude into the vena cava, causing a negative impact on the bloodflow. With an oblique stent design optimed now offers an exceptional solution.
